1 परमेश्वरले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई अब चाँडै हुन आउने कुराहरू प्रकट गर्नुभएको यो येशू ख्रीष्टको प्रकाश हो । उहाँले यो कुरा आफ्ना स्वर्गदूत पठाउनुभई उहाँका सेवक यूहन्नालाई प्रकट गराउनुभयो ।
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to point out unto his servants the things which must needs come to pass with speed, —and he shewed them by signs, sending through his messenger, unto his servant John;
2 परमेश्वरको वचनको सम्बन्धमा आफूले देखेका सबै कुरा र येशू ख्रीष्टको बारेमा यूहन्नाले गवाही दिएका छन् ।
who bare witness as to the word of God, and the witness of Jesus Christ, —whatsoever things he saw.
3 अगमवाणीको यो वचन जसले चर्को स्वरमा पढ्छ र जसले सुन्छ र यसमा लेखिएका कुराहरू पालन गर्छ, त्यो मानिस धन्यको हो, किनकि समय नजिक छ ।
Happy! he that readeth, and they who hear, the words of the prophecy, and keep the things, therein, written; for, the season, is, near.
4 यूहन्नाबाट एसियामा भएका सातवटा मण्डलीलाईः जो हुनुहुन्छ, हुनुहुन्थ्यो अनि हुन आउनुहुनेछ उहाँबाट अनुग्रह र शान्ति, र उहाँको सिंहासनका सामु भएका सातवटा आत्मा,
John, unto the Seven Assemblies which are in Asia, Favour to you, and peace, from—Him who Is, and who Was, and who is Coming, and from—The Seven Spirits which are before his throne,
5 अनि येशू ख्रीष्टबाट, जो विश्वासयोग्य गवाही हुनुहुन्छ, मृतकहरूमध्येबाट जीवित पारिनुभएका पहिलो र पृथ्वीका राजाहरूका शासक हुनुहुन्छ; उहाँ जसले हामीलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ र उहाँको रगतद्वारा हामीलाई हाम्रा पापबाट स्वतन्त्र पार्नुभयो ।
and from—Jesus Christ, —The Faithful Witness, The Firstborn of the Dead, and The Ruler of the Kings of the Earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us out of our sins with his blood, —
6 उहाँले हामीलाई एउटा राज्य बनाउनुभएको छ, अनि उहाँका पिता र परमेश्वरका निम्ति पुजारीहरू, जसलाई सदासर्वदा महिमा र शक्ति होस् । आमेन । (aiōn )
and he hath made us [to be] a kingdom—priests unto his God and Father, Unto him, be the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages. Amen. (aiōn )
7 हेर, उहाँ बादलमा आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ । हरेक आँखाले उहाँलाई देख्नेछ, उहाँलाई घोच्नेहरूले पनि । अनि उहाँको कारण पृथ्वीका सबै कुलले बिलौना गर्नेछन् । यसै होस्, आमेन ।
Lo! he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, such also as pierced him; and all the tribes of the land shall smite themselves for him. Yea! Amen.
8 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, “अल्फा र ओमेगा म नै हुँ”, “उहाँ जो हुनुहुन्छ, जो हुनुहुन्थ्यो, र जो हुन आउनुहुनेछ ।” [टिपोटः केही संस्करणमा लेखिएको छ] “अल्फा र ओमेगा, सुरु र अन्त म नै हुँ”, परमप्रभु परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ ।
I, am, the A, and, the Z, saith the Lord, —the, God who Is, and who Was, and who is Coming, The Almighty.
9 म तिमीहरूका दाजु यूहन्ना र जसले राज्य र कष्टहरूमा धैर्यसाथै सहनशीलता जुन येशूमा थिए, तिमीहरूसँगै परमेश्वरको वचन र येशू ख्रीष्टको गवाहीका निम्ति पत्मोस भनिने टापुमा थिएँ ।
I, John, your brother, and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and the witness of Jesus.
10 प्रभुको दिनमा म आत्मामा थिएँ । मैले मेरो पछाडि चर्को स्वरमा तुरहीको जस्तै एउटा आवाज सुने ।
I came to be, in Spirit, in the Lord’s Day, and heard, behind me, a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
11 “त्यसले भन्यो, ‘तिमीले जे देख्छौ, सो एउटा पुस्तकमा लेख र सातवटा मण्डली अर्थात् एफिसस, स्मुर्ना, पर्गामम, थिआटीरा, सार्डिस, फिलाडेल्फिया र लाउडिकियालाई पठाऊ’ ।”
saying—What thou seest, write in a scroll, and send unto the Seven Assemblies, —unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, —and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, —and unto Laodicea.
12 कसको आवाज मसँग बोलिरहेको थियो भनी म फर्किएँ र मैले हेर्दा सातवटा सुनका सामदान देखेँ ।
And I turned round, to see the Voice which was speaking with me, and, having turned, I saw Seven Lamps of gold;
13 सामदानहरूका माझमा पाउसम्मै पुग्ने लामो पोशाक पहिरिनुभएका र छातीको वरिपरि सुनको पेटी बाँध्नुभएका मानिसका पुत्रजस्तै त्यहाँ एक जना हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
and, in the midst of the lamps, One like unto a Son of Man: —clothed with a robe, reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a girdle of gold,
14 उहाँको शिर र कपाल ऊन अनि हिउँजस्तै सेता र उहाँका आँखा आगोको ज्वालाजस्तै थिए ।
And his head and hair, white, like white wool—like snow, and, his eyes, like a flame of fire,
15 उहाँका पाउहरू भट्टीमा चम्किएका काँसाजस्ता थिए र उहाँको सोर उर्लंदो पानीको आवाजजस्तै थियो ।
And, his feet, like unto glowing copper, as if in a furnace refined, and, his voice, like a sound of many waters,
16 उहाँको दाहिने हातमा सातवटा तारा थिए, अनि उहाँको मुखबाट एउटा दुई-धारे धारिलो तरवार निस्किरहेको थियो । उहाँको अनुहार सुर्यको तेजझैँ चम्किरहेको थियो ।
And, having in his right hand, seven stars, and, out of his mouth, a sharp, two-edged sword, going forth; and, his whole appearance, as when, the sun, shineth in its strength.
17 जब मैले उहाँलाई देखेँ, म मरेतुल्य मानिसजस्तै भएर उहाँको पाउँमा परेँ । उहाँले आफ्नो दाहिने हात ममाथि राख्नुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “नडराऊ ।” पहिलो र अन्तिम म नै हुँ ।
And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon me, saying—Do not fear! I, am the First, and the Last,
18 म जीवित छु । म मरेको थिएँ, तर हेर, म सदाका निम्ति जीवित रहन्छु, अनि मृत्यु र पातालका साँचाहरू मसित छन् । (aiōn , Hadēs )
and the Living One, —and I became dead; —and lo! living, am I, unto the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades. (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 त्यसकारण, जे अहिले छ, र यसपछि जे हुन आउनेछ तिमीले जे देखेका छौ, सो लेख ।
Write, therefore—what things thou hast seen and what they are; and what things are about to come to pass, after these things:
20 मेरो दाहिने हाततिर तिमीले देखेका सातवटा तारा र सातवटा सामदानको बारेमा लुकेको रहस्यको अर्थ सातवटा तारा सातवटा मण्डलीका दुतहरू र सातवटा सामदान सातवटा मण्डली हुन् ।”
The sacred secret of the seven stars, which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven lamps of gold: —The seven stars, are, messengers of the seven assemblies, and, the seven lamps, are, seven assemblies
